In plain words
Subtle within the subtle atom, great within the great thing, shining everywhere as the onlooker of all: the Ātma itself is Brahman, Brahman itself becomes the Ātma.
Every substance is nothing but a gathering of atoms. Here is a flower. Only through the gathering of many atoms has this come to be a flower. In this world no substance is to be seen that is not made of atoms. Everything is made of atoms. Birth, death, living, worldly life, the bonds of existence: all of them rest on the principle of the atom itself. That itself is the principle of the Ātma. To recognise such a principle, one must learn spiritual education along with worldly studies. All the studies you pursue today belong merely to ‘bookish knowledge’. We do not need book knowledge; we need ‘practical knowledge’. We must recognise the principle of the atom, put it into practice and experience Ānanda. Merely by reading the words jilebi, laddu and sweets in books, will you know their sweetness? Only when you put them on the tongue once and taste them does their sweetness come into experience. That itself is ‘practical knowledge’. You must put the learning you have gained into practice and experience Ānanda.
Education that does not serve society is meaningless
In our country there are very many highly educated people. But what good are they doing the country? Are they doing any work that brings joy to others? They are not doing so in the least. They do not make others happy, nor are they happy themselves. Then why these studies?
Having studied every study and grown very clever, the dullard does not know himself in his mind; however much he studies, whatever way he may be, the base man cannot give up his bad quality; study as he may, searching deep, it is only argument; full Jñāna he can never gain. Why study every study, only to die? one must study the learning that knows no death.
